While talking to my sister Rachel on Skype Wednesday night, I told her that I have 5 days off--from Sunday to Thursday--because Lison was gone. I said I didn't know what to do with all this free time. She told me to use my time and go somewhere! Go to Montpellier or something! If I could just buy a train ticket for 80 euro and then couchsurf, it would be so great and not cost a lot.
Therefore, I decided that she is brilliant and I would do just that! I sent out couchsurfing requests and looked into booking a ticket.
The next day, after school, I ran into another German au pair and we talked (in French, the common language we share). I told her I wanted to go to Montpellier and she said, "Oh! I'm going there from Tuesday to Thursday! I'm driving there and staying with some German friends!"
I asked her if I could drive with her and split the costs. "Yes! That would be fine! And if you want I could ask my friends if you could stay with us."
"HECK YES!" I replied.
Long story short, I am driving to Montpellier with her and staying with her friends. Such a blessing! God totally provides. Odds are they will speak in German the entire time, but I'm hoping that I will just go off and sitesee by myself.
p.s. please keep my in your prayers as I really miss friends and family right now.
You see, we didn't speak german the entire time! ;)
